A local Minnesotan cafe faced a slurry of negative reviews after banning Trump supporters from entering their store.

After the Orlando tragedy, Urban Bean posted on their Facebook page: If you support Trump, don’t come to their shop.

This angered a wide range of Trump supporters and hypocritical man children, who are now attacking this innocent coffee shop.

This is a classic case of wanting cake and the government forcing your business to sell it. When asked for comment someone said: “We didn’t do anything.”

I can only imagine the horrors the coffee shop must be going through.

Stay strong.

711 gas station pizzaria listed as one of the Top 10 Restaurants in Austin, TX https://dripfeed.news/internet/711-gas-station-pizza-listed-as-one-of-the-top-10-restaurants-in-austin-tx/ https://dripfeed.news/internet/711-gas-station-pizza-listed-as-one-of-the-top-10-restaurants-in-austin-tx/#respond Tue, 29 Mar 2016 01:46:44 +0000 http://dripfeed.news/?p=606 Located on the crowded streets of Guadalupe St. in sunny Austin, Texas is an unassuming eatery serving a culinary treat. Inside this ordinary but bustling 711 gas station you’ll find hot, freshly made pizzas that claim to be the “Real Deal”. We headed out to G-Street to taste test some cheesy pies and see if they really live up to the online hype. r/austin has a lot of turds, a lot of good folks too, but a lot of turds too.

“…ladled in premium sauce, the good stuff.”

We ordered the Extreme Meat Pizza.  The clerk promptly grabbed my pie from a heated serving display platter and we were eating in no time. The crust… is light and crispy, and smothered in premium sauce and 100% whole milk mozzarella for an authentic pie I wasn’t able to get enough of. Seriously, I had another slice…and you’ll have another slice…::leans in closely so you can smell his stinking pizza breath::…you will have another slice, do you understand me?

It’s not hard to agree with having another slice! At a price of just $5.55 for a 14-inch circle of pizza you could probably stop by and grab a slice everyday.

Austin, TX – SXSW “Thank You, Now Go Home” signs banned from being displayed at next year’s festival https://dripfeed.news/internet/austin-tx-sxsw-thank-you-now-go-home-signs-banned-from-being-displayed-at-next-years-festival/ https://dripfeed.news/internet/austin-tx-sxsw-thank-you-now-go-home-signs-banned-from-being-displayed-at-next-years-festival/#comments Sun, 20 Mar 2016 22:45:36 +0000 http://dripfeed.news/?p=574 If you’re familiar with music, branding, or interactive technology, you’ve probably heard of the annual event known as SXSW (South by Southwest). This world renowned festival grew from an 800 attendee local event in 1987 to a 84,385 badge-holding attendee “advertising showcase” in 2016. Usually, near the end of the festival, local Austinites will display signs around town with phrases along the lines of “Thank You, Now Go Home.”  It’s a tradition based on the shared misery of Austin residents who must deal with the 400,000+ tourists, and the traffic associated with them, that come to enjoy the tag-along events that surround the SXSW venues.

Today, news is spreading that local representatives are considering banning the use of any “Thank You, Now Go Home” signage at any future SXSW events – starting in 2017.

“We felt that these ‘Thank You, Go Home’ signs popping up around Austin streets near the end of the festival were making our valuable festival goers uncomfortable.”

They were focused on maintaining an inviting theme to future SXSW events. “We felt that these ‘Thank You, Go Home’ signs popping up around Austin streets near the end of the festival were making our valuable festival goers uncomfortable.” They went on to say, “We were approached by a large group of attendees from a California startup… we set up a meeting to discuss why traditions such as the ‘go home’ signage could be detrimental to future events. Additionally, we discussed how Austinites could inspire a more friendly and inviting atmosphere to bring in more tourists for next year’s SXSW.”

I personally believe that the residents are simply showing their appreciation for the love of the festival and the economic boost it gives, but also sharing their opinion that this city is also “home sweet home” to many who live here. The locals who live within Austin value the unique energy the city has during non-event seasons and they want their visitors to respect that. A tradition based on preserving your community’s sanity from tourism overflow isn’t something to ban in my opinion. Leave us a comment below or tweet @dripfeed_news on twitter to tell us what you think of the potential ban on ‘go home’ signage.

Future Claims that His #EVOL Concerts will be Underwater. https://dripfeed.news/internet/future-claims-that-his-evol-concerts-will-be-underwater/ https://dripfeed.news/internet/future-claims-that-his-evol-concerts-will-be-underwater/#respond Thu, 04 Feb 2016 02:45:43 +0000 http://dripfeed.news/?p=234 With the announcement of Future’s new album, apparently named #EVOL (fresh off the social media buzz.) People are already getting hyped about the concerts that will follow. Although Future hasn’t released any tour dates, it was revealed that the #EVOL tour will be mostly held at underwater venues. Many are speculating about what exactly that means, with some suggesting that he may be using aquariums or special “pool inspired” stages.

The Dripfeed StreetSquad thinks this may be in relation to his limited production budget for audio effects; by using underwater venues he can cheaply achieve his unique bubbling auto-tune sound without expensive equipment. Our in-house hiphop expert believed that we wouldn’t be able to tell a difference in rap quality or musical talent.

Stop Hating on The Fine Bros! https://dripfeed.news/internet/stop-hating-on-the-fine-bros/ https://dripfeed.news/internet/stop-hating-on-the-fine-bros/#comments Mon, 01 Feb 2016 02:03:54 +0000 http://dripfeed.news/?p=500 Do you love reaction videos? Here at Dripfeed, we do too!

From toddlers reacting to videos shown to them on a tv screen, to grandparents reacting to videos shown to them on a tv screen, to tv screens reacting to videos shown to them on a tv screen. We love them all!  Reaction videos are the most shareable video format on any video sharing network on the web, and one Youtube channel is looking to funnel all of that reaction goodness through one moderated network.

 

“This is not just a big step for our company, but for the entire global media industry.”

 

The Fine Bros released an announcement video on Tuesday stating that they were going be offering “licensed packages” of their graphics, video formats, and video editing secrets, along with other goodies. It seems their goal is to create a global “reaction network” with “community content creators” releasing reaction videos all across the globe under the ownership of The Fine Bros Network. Video creators are being encouraged to contact the channel for licensing agreements immediately to start the fun and community experience 😉

 

 

By agreeing to a license, the video creator is free from being sued for infringement upon The Fine Bros ownership of reactions. “This is not just a big step for our company, but for the entire global media industry.” the Bros stated in their video. A big step indeed, introducing complex legalities into the longstanding Youtube reaction video community will help to make sure that no shitty, boring, and unoriginal ideas will ever see the light of day on Youtube again. Just imagine all of the excited 13-year olds across the world, filming stupid shit with their iphones, and then submitting it to the ReactWorld Network. Guess who will be sorting through all of those shitty videos for us?  The Fine Bros, acting as our reaction video curators, will deliver only the purest form of reaction videos. Dripfeed predicts a proverbial golden age of reaction videos within the decade.

 

Introducing complex legalities into the longstanding Youtube reaction video community will help to make sure that no shitty, boring, and unoriginal ideas will ever see the light of day on Youtube again.

 

The team at Dripfeed agrees, The Fine Bros are the future of entertainment. By mining the entire planet for ideas, video content, and grandma’s that are willing smell their own shit on camera, they’re effectively securing an infinite source of ad revenue – earned off the backs of content creators. It’s fucking genius! The Bros only want 40% of the creators earnings in exchange for using the logos, graphics, and format from the licensing agreement. That’s a steal in our opinion; and it’s best to sign up today before all the slots are taken by amateurs. Welcome to age of #ReactWorld!

Magician Never Seen or Heard from Again https://dripfeed.news/news/magician-never-seen-or-heard-from-again/ https://dripfeed.news/news/magician-never-seen-or-heard-from-again/#respond Sat, 23 Jan 2016 01:37:23 +0000 http://dripfeed.news/?p=312 Last night, CEO Bob Chipman of EXCITE! Clubs and Resort, called the authorities when the magician he had hired for his daughter’s birthday went missing.

“It all happened so fast and no one was really paying any attention, but apparently the magician said he was going to make himself disappear — the next thing you know, he’s gone!”

The only item found at the scene of the crime was a note that read: “Whether you find me again is up to you, I just wanted the pain to end.” Suffice it to say, the magician’s act ruined Chipman’s daughter’s birthday party and he will be seeking a lawsuit for emotional and psychological damages to his family and guests.

“I hired a magician, not a damnable wizard”, Chipman said “It’s not my responsibility to screen every magician I bring into my household”.

A memorial service will be held by the magician’s guild this Sunday at 3:00PM. The guild. respectfully asks that you leave all rabbits in the car for the duration of the service.

Mardi Gras Postponed in New Orleans After an Actual Baby was Baked into King Cake. https://dripfeed.news/internet/mardi-gras-postponed-in-new-orleans-after-an-actual-baby-was-baked-into-king-cake/ https://dripfeed.news/internet/mardi-gras-postponed-in-new-orleans-after-an-actual-baby-was-baked-into-king-cake/#respond Fri, 22 Jan 2016 00:52:35 +0000 http://dripfeed.news/?p=194 Uncomfortable news is emerging from New Orleans, LA (NOLA) today. Scattered reports on social media mention an accident involving what would normally be a historic treat for the city’s residents. Allegedly an infant was accidentally dropped into an industrial King-Batter© King Cake Kiln during a cake factory tour on Thursday. The parents had this to say:

“I held the little one over the batter mixer machine thing for a better view and suddenly lost my grip…the baby became submerged in butter, sugar, and creamy batter almost immediately. We lost sight of it after the vat of batter was sucked off down a tube. It took us over 40 minutes to get help.”

The factory owners claim the parents had decided to separate from the tour group and examine the factory on their own. Factory officials say the infant was most likely baked into a batch of king cakes which shipped to grocery stores the same day.  The accident may lead to official discussion about why the factory did not have preventative equipment in place to keep children from falling into the batter. The Preachers Parish Community Group is postponing Mardi Gras while a product recall is considered.

 

A Quick History of the Delicious Kingly Cake.

King cake is a classic New Orleans traditional cake with roots that reach as far back as the French invasion of New Orleans in the 16th Century. French bakers created the cake to celebrate the French victory over the city. The Mardi Gras king cake is usually baked with a small plastic baby figurine inside; a tradition promoted by the first bakeries of New Orleans. Historians point to the young bakers of NOLA starting the baby-in-cake style of baking.

        The mark of the Baker’s Society. c. 1743.

 

After having problems with local children bothering them while they baked the delicious cakes; they began to jokingly threaten children who lingered for too long with the old baker’s adage, Sortez de ma putain de boutique avant que je décide de faire cuire un chevreau dans un gâteau!” or translated to English as, “Get out of my fucking shop before I decide to cook a child in a cake!” A bit crude, but it’s a very French reaction.

The tradition continues today throughout New Orleans during the Mardi Gras season. Any tourists who find a plastic baby in their piece of king cake are encouraged to direct their attention to any children close by and yell the old baker’s words as loudly as they can. dripfeedlarge

Stock Market in Free Fall as Brokers Forced to Watch Shinji Cry on Stock Board https://dripfeed.news/news/stock-market-in-free-fall-as-brokers-forced-to-watch-shinji-cry-on-stock-board/ https://dripfeed.news/news/stock-market-in-free-fall-as-brokers-forced-to-watch-shinji-cry-on-stock-board/#respond Thu, 21 Jan 2016 21:22:24 +0000 http://dripfeed.news/?p=327 The stock market kept tumbling down, tumbling down today as Shinji continued to cry on the scroll boards on Wall Street. Despite a historic low in oil prices per barrel, the market had been stabilizing until the Market AI became sentient, forcing all of the brokers to watch the saddest scene in anime history, over and over again.

There have been several attempts to fix this rogue self-aware AI, but unfortunately most of the brokers have been rendered completely useless, failing to fulfill their orders and muttering to themselves:

“It all returns to nothing, it all comes tumbling down, tumbling down, tumbling down
It all returns to nothing, I just keep letting me down, letting me down, letting me down
In my heart of hearts
I know that I could never love again
I’ve lost everything
everything
everything that matters to me, matters in this world”

There appears to be no end in sight. Expect the market to continue to crash well into 2016, or until a second season of Monthly Girls’ Nozaki-Kun comes out.

Ninja Theory replacing Hideo Kojima as Lead Developer of Metal Gear Solid series https://dripfeed.news/news/ninja-theory-replacing-hideo-kojima-as-lead-developer-of-metal-gear-solid-series/ https://dripfeed.news/news/ninja-theory-replacing-hideo-kojima-as-lead-developer-of-metal-gear-solid-series/#comments Wed, 20 Jan 2016 23:17:41 +0000 http://dripfeed.news/?p=238 Metal Gear Solid, an action game with a story that’s as thin as Taylor Swift’s ass, is going to get a huge improvement. The development team that brought you DmC: Devil May Cry has told us that Tameem Antoniades will be taking the place of the late Hideo Kojima.

“We needed a young experienced developer who understands what’s acceptable, and what’s not in todays society.” said CEO of Konami; Takuya Kozuki. “We needed someone who was willing to create a faithful adaptation to the Metal Gear Solid franchise. It was clear from their masterful performance on DmC: Devil May Cry, That Ninja Theory is the best developer for this type of project.” Ninja Theory has also told us that Metal Gear Solid 6: From Two Phantoms will take place after MGS4 with Snake being much more refined in both design and how he acts.

Ninja Theory is determined to to put a more modern spin on Metal Gear Solid 6: From Two Phantoms, with proud ass kicking female companions and gameplay made more accessible.

The gameplay is a more realistic take on the Metal Gear Solid formula. Taking away such things as cardboard boxes and Cyborg Ninja’s and replacing them with a more intuitive and immersive mechanics for today’s common gamer. “No one wants this dumb shit anymore, they want characters that female gamers can relate too.” said Rahni Tucker. “We’re making Metal Gear Solid 6: From Two Phantoms for the players, not the gamers.” A bold move, but one worth taking.

“For all the praise we get, we do admit that DmC: Devil May Cry is by no means the perfect game.” said Tameem Antoniades; “Our female representation was laughable, so we’ve taken this serious feedback and used it to improve ourselves as game developers.” In the end it all boils down to NInja Theory’s creative eye – and looking at the results, I think it’s safe to say they’re doing a good job.
